Runners, joggers and walkers, get in line for the second annual Lions Half Marathon & 5K races in downtown Fort Pierce on Jan. 14.

With more than 420 half-marathon racers last year, the Fort Pierce and St. Lucie West Lions Clubs are looking to have many more for this run of sights, sounds and fun in 2018.

Run, jog, or walk this incredible course designed specifically to take in the historical and photographic characteristics of Fort Pierce.

Starting in old downtown Fort Pierce, the course passes waterside parks and sites dating to the late 19th century before traveling up and over South Bridge down to the jetty.

Run along the beautiful shoreline observing many local establishments that make Fort Pierce what it is today. A picturesque finish back in the heart of Fort Pierce gives way to a celebration for all finishers, volunteers, and spectators including food, music, prizes, and mimosas.

Organized by the St. Lucie West Lions Club and Fort Pierce Lions Club, this charity race will benefit VIM/HANDS Clinic of Fort Pierce, Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Committee and Mustard Seed Ministries, an addition this year.

One hundred percent of the monies raised through the race sponsorships and donations are used to help the local communities. Last year’s race raised more than $21,000 to help in the community.

For registration and/or sponsorship, the event website is www.runfortpierce.com. The list of supporters and registered runners keeps growing, so get in line and run Fort Pierce.
